Kids from around the world, in schools, cybercafes, and at home are given an "Internet Channel" to voice their solutions for a better world. They are accepted as contributors to the evolution of life by the adults. Through KidCasting, kids are provoked by their teachers, parents and guardians, to consider solutions to personal, local and planetary problems, and to explore ideas about compassion and community. Because we seek their expression, the kids' self-esteem increases. Children learn valuable tools for community building and how to use computers for digital storytelling; a valuable job skill for the 21st Century (nurturing future Siggraphians).

During live interactions, children express their ideas and feelings overcoming obsticles of distance and language. They hold up their creations in front of the video camera, direct the public to their web site, and have conversations with each other and the public-at-large. This foundation of community thinking and education/use of digital storytelling tools stimulates an early desire to use computer graphic tools for communication, education and entertainment.

KidCast for Peace prepares them for our evolving digital world, yet stimulates (protects) their "humanness." In today's hectic world, physical gatherings and high-touch environments tend to be replaced by non-physical electronic interaction. Through KidCasting, children make friends with their "foreign" counterparts. KidCast exists to facilitate young peoples' discussion about how to overcome life's challenges. KidCast stimulates the parents to provide better role models and to accept and respect the consciousness of their offspring; our future world leaders.
